My first hike was a 6-hour trek to the sea arch, also my first-ever hike. Overcast skies hid the sun. Muddy trails weren’t taxing—just keep pace with the group. No major dangers, but winds at the arch were fierce; avoid cliff edges for photos. Wait for calm moments. As a non-outdoorsy person, it was manageable, though some uphill stretches left me breathless. The second hike was the 007 route, under full sun all day. Shorter but more exhausting, perhaps due to unfinished recovery (space hikes by a day). The mountains looked steep but were hikeable—move slowly, brace against gusts. #FaroeIslands #SpringExchange #CaptureSpring #WindowToSpring #NaturePhotography #TravelBeyondCheckins #FirstTripOf2024 #2024TravelWrap #SpringAdventures
